NCT00112658
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective as first-line therapy in treating pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works as first-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
NCT03244683
This is a single center, open label, randomized trial, involving 150 patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. Patients will be randomized at the time of enrollment to receive from 5-7 days of ONS supplementation combined with resistance training and nutritional education compared to standard of care, consisting of nutritional education alone. This proof of concept study is intended to demonstrate the ability of pre-habilitation to improve patient-related outcomes following pancreatic surgery, specifically postoperative complications. The rationale for using the designated oral nutrient supplementation is to preserve muscle mass, and decrease weight loss.
NCT02154737
The purpose of this study is to see whether an altered schedule of giving erlotinib in combination with gemcitabine will be safe and might improve the results of the treatment for advanced cancer of the pancreas. Gemcitabine and erlotinib are commercially available. Gemcitabine is FDA approved as first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic cancer of the pancreas. Erlotinib is FDA approved in combination with gemcitabine for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer. The FDA recommended dose for erlotinib is 100 mg daily. This study will investigate the experimental administration of higher doses of erlotinib given for only three days twice a month, a schedule called "pulse dosing".
NCT04764084
Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) gene mutations can be detected in many solid tumors, patients with HRR gene mutations may benefit from PARP inhibitor. Antiangiogenic drugs can induce hypoxia and increase the sensitivity to PARP inhibitor. The combination of PARP inhibitor and antiangiogenic drug can play a synergistic anti-tumor role and achieve good efficacy in HRR gene-mutated tumors. The purpose of the study is to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of Niraparib plus Anlotinib in HRR gene-mutated advanced solid tumors, and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this combination therapy preliminarily.
NCT00112697
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, fluorouracil, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy, docetaxel, and fluorouracil are more effective than radiation therapy, docetaxel, and cisplatin as first-line therapy in treating pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying radiation therapy, docetaxel, and fluorouracil to see how well they work as first-line therapy compared to radiation therapy, docetaxel, and cisplatin in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
NCT03040986
This phase II trial studies how well selumetinib sulfate works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer with Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) G12R mutations that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or other places in the body. Selumetinib sulfate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT01494155
A standard treatment for patients with pancreatic cancer is standard photon radiation in combination with the chemotherapy drug, capecitabine. In this research study the investigators are using standard photon radiation or a different type of radiation therapy called proton beam radiation and adding hydroxychloroquine to be used in combination with capecitabine. In this research study, the investigators are looking to determine if proton or photon beam radiation in combination with hydroxychloroquine and capecitabine is effective in controlling your cancer growth.
NCT04723030
This trial will explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with apatinib mesylate and radiotherapy and chemotherapy (paclitaxel (albumin binding) combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin) in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
NCT03760614
The main purpose of this study is to find the best dose of entinostat when given in combination with FOLFOX for pancreatic cancer.
NCT03585062
The study is to evaluate the R0 resection rate of patients with unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer ,after treated with S-1 plus Paclitaxel-albumin as neoadjuvant chemotherapy protocols
NCT04683497
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic Cancer (PC) is one of the leading cancer-related causes of death worldwide, with the majority of patients undergoing potentially curative surgery. In this context, the implementation of an accurate imaging modality is crucial in order to facilitate the clinical decision-making on the basis of tumor resectability. The contrast enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS) is a relatively new imaging modality that has been employed in the detection mainly of colorectal liver metastases, but not for those of pancreatic origin. AIM: The purpose of the present study is to validate the CE-IOUS in adult patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. METHODS: Prospective single-center analysis of all consecutive patients with PC undergoing pancreatic surgery from a single hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery team between December 1st, 2020 and December 31st, 2022 will be performed. Baseline characteristics, type of surgery, intraoperative parameters, hospital length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) stay, postoperative morbidity and 30-day mortality data will be obtained from the database. The primary outcome is the clinical utility, defining its ability to change surgical operation on the basis of its findings. LIMITATIONS: The key limitation is the inclusion of only one HPB surgery team from one center. STRENGTHS: This study will potentially be the first to evaluate EC-IOUS and to compare it with the IOUS, CT and MRI for pancreatic surgical patients.
NCT03215459
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been shown to be superior to American Society of Anaesthetist classification (ASA) in predicting peri-operative risk. The most common performance status used is the World Health Organisation (WHO) (0-4), with a clinician agreed differentiation of the subsets of 0-2 and 3-4; variability also exists within these subsets. With this there rises a concern that fit older patients may not be offered appropriate chemotherapy treatment. This observational study will assess whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) offers additional benefit over that of WHO Performance status (PS) in the assessment of patients fitness for palliative chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, by identifying those patients who might survive longer and tolerate chemotherapy better, thus predicting their outcome.
NCT04034745
This single arm study will evaluate whether Xermelo (telotristat ethyl) associated weight gain is affects lean body mass, dietary intake, and physical and cognitive functioning among neuroendocrine tumor (NET) patients with a history of carcinoid syndrome.
NCT03207724
This study is being conducted to examine the safety of the investigational drug, Xilonix(™), in addition to standard doses of Onivyde® (nanoliposomal irinotecan) and 5- fluorouracil (5FU)/folinic acid (leucovorin) for pancreatic cancer patients with cachexia. Cachexia is a syndrome that includes involuntary weight loss and physical deterioration that can contribute to poor outcomes of cancer treatment. In other studies, Xilonix has increased lean body mass in advanced cancer patients. This increase could lead to improved weight maintenance and quality of life.
NCT04196816
Pancreatic cancer is increasing in incidence and will be the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in 2030 in the West. Only 10 to 15% of patients are eligible for curative resection with long-term survival rarely exceeding 20% at 5 years. The management of metastatic or recurrent diseases can not, unfortunately, be recommended to date because of limited data available (INCA 2019). However, recent, low-strength publications have reported encouraging results on the long-term survival of stage IV or recurrent patients. The aim of the present retrospective cohort study is to analyze results of surgery/destruction of metastatic synchronous or metachronous disease or local recurrence in patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer
NCT04687410
The aim of this study is to compare tissue quality and molecular yield between a novel crown-cut biopsy needle (FNB) and a standard aspiration needle (FNA) for EUS-guided diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions.
NCT03989310
The outcome of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. NCCN guidelines recommend FOLFIRINOX or modified-FOLFIRINOX as the first-line chemotherapeutic regimen, but the response rate is unacceptably low. PD-1 blockade has been developed to a new class of cancer immunotherapy that could restore an adequate immunosurveillance against the neoplasm and enhance T-cell-mediated anticancer immune responses. Manganese has been confirmed to activate antigen-presenting cells and function as mucosal immunoadjuvants in pre-clinical studies. This one-arm, phase I/II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Manganese primed combined therapy of anti-PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy.
NCT04677192
This study is a prospective, single center, single arm, phase II clinical study in patients with liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of microwave ablation combined with chemotherapy for liver metastasis after radical resection of pancreatic cancer about overall survival, and to determine the feasibility and safety of the scheme.
NCT02703571
Phase Ib dose escalation in advanced solid tumors to identify dose for Phase II dose expansion in advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer and KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer. Open-label, nonrandomized.
NCT01487785
This phase Ib study includes two phases: dose escalation phase and safety expansion phase. During the dose escalation phase, successive cohorts of eligible patients (minimum 3 and maximum 6 evaluable patients per cohort) will receive increasing oral doses of LDE225 administered on a continuous once daily (QD) dose in combination of gemcitabine. This phase of the study will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/ or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of LDE225 administered in combination with gemcitabine in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. During the safety expansion phase, once the MTD of LDE225 is established, additional patients will be enrolled and treated at the MTD of LDE225 in combination with gemcitabine in order to further evaluate its safety, tolerability and explore the potential efficacy of the combined treatments on the patients in locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
